The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.

 

Identification of Goods

 

The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite.  The applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial name of the goods.  If there is no common commercial name, the applicant must describe the product and its intended uses.  TMEP §1402.01.

 

The applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate: 

 

International Class 5; pharmaceutical preparations, namely, infusion solutions for prophylaxis and treatment of hypovolemia, namely, macro-circulation and micro-cirulation disturbance, for the treatment of therapeutical hemodilution, of acute normovolemic hemodilution and as plasma substitute for blood replacement;

 

International Class 10; medical instruments, namely, containers and bags for medical liquids and solutions; AND,

 

International Class 16; pvc-free packaging materials, namely, __________ (the applicant should indicate the material content of the packaging materials) for use in storing medical liquids and solutions.

 

Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification are not permitted.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of goods set forth in the present identification.

 

Translation of Foreign Certificate Required

 

The applicant must submit an English translation of the foreign registration.  37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii).  It is customary for the translator to sign the translation.  TMEP §1004.01(b).
